“Although this was a violent incident, reportedly, we have no one with life-threatening injuries,” NYPD Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a press conference.

The suspect threw gas canisters and opened fire in a Brooklyn subway car, officials said. The car pulled into the station at 36th Street, where victims poured out of the car. Videos and photos posted on social media showed the bloody scene.

Sewell said the investigation is still in its early stages, but at this point it was not being investigated as terrorism.
